Dr Foster is absolutely amazing!
I honestly just can't say enough about how awesome Dr. Foster is. She answers every single question I ever have about my son. She takes all the time in the world to explain everything. She's extremely awesome with my son. I just honestly, she's probably the most comfortable I have ever felt going to a doctor, whether it be for myself or my children. I could not recommend her enough to everybody. She's absolutely incredible.
Dr Foster is one of a kind! She is so knowledgable, but able to break down the information into helpful and informative nuggets. She listens so well and cares about establishing rapport with her patients. She never hurries you through appointments and has become such a trusted part of our care team!
Dr Foster is wonderful. Our family is so thankful to have her.
Dr. Foster is an amazing doctor that always provides so much insight on how to help my child with special needs.
Dr Foster is AMAZING! She always takes her time and makes sure to discuss every option we have in caring for my son. As long as she is practicing medicine my son will be her patient!
Dr. Foster is a gem and we love working with her! Her insights into my children are so valuable and I've learned so much about navigating my children's needs and challenges.
